How far ahead should we start?
Eight to twelve weeks is comfortable for a custom build and six to eight for a modular stand. Double-deckers need longer because the structural approval sits with the organiser and cannot be rushed. We have delivered stands in under a month, but the options narrow and the freight costs more.
Is the design really free?
Yes — first concept and 3D visual, before any contract. What we ask is a real brief: the floor plan, which sides are open, and an honest budget range. A design drawn against a guessed budget helps nobody.
What does an exhibition stand cost in India?
Essential modular stands of 9–18 m² start at ₹1.8 lakh, custom builds of 24–48 m² at ₹4.5 lakh, and premium islands, double-deckers and pavilions of 50–100 m²+ at ₹12 lakh. Each figure is all-inclusive of design, fabrication, graphics, lighting, freight, installation and dismantle.
What is not in your quotation?
The organiser’s floor or space rental, venue-charged services such as power, water, compressed air, rigging and waste removal, GST at prevailing rates, and your own team’s travel and accommodation. Everything we design, build, print, ship, install and dismantle is in.
What is the difference between bare space and shell scheme?
Shell scheme is the organiser’s pre-built shell with a fascia name board, which you fit out inside. Bare space is an empty plot on which you build whatever the hall rules allow. Custom stands and double-deckers need bare space; a modular stand works in either.
Can we reuse the stand at the next show?
Modular stands, yes — that is what they are for, and we store them between shows. Custom stands vary: graphics and many structural elements can be reused, but a stand built for a 6×8 m corner rarely drops into a 5×10 m inline plot without rework.
Do you build outside Mumbai and outside India?
Yes. Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune, Ahmedabad, Kolkata, Jaipur and Coimbatore regularly, and internationally through the wider SOL group in Europe, the USA and the UAE. The project manager stays the same wherever the show is.
Who is on site during build-up?
Your project manager and the install crew. For larger builds the manager stays through show days as well. You get a mobile number, not a ticket queue.
